DepEd MATATAG Early Reading Competency Rubric
Standard: RL1.K.1-4
| Performance Level |
Observable Reading Behaviors |
Recommended Teacher / Parent Next Steps |
Mastery (14–16 pts) Independent Reader |
Blends sounds immediately with smooth continuous breath; reads both mini-stories fluently without pausing. |
Advance student to Level 2: VC Word Families (-at, -an, -op) and 3-sound decodables. |
Developing (10–13 pts) Instructional Reader |
Blends with occasional hesitation; chops sounds into /b/... /a/ before connecting into "ba". |
Use the finger-glide method on Page 1 sliders. Emphasize continuous singing tones without letting breath stop. |
Beginning (<10 pts) Needs Intervention |
Struggles to recognize individual letter sounds; guesses words based on first letter only. |
Review isolated letter-sound relationships before re-attempting two-letter synthesis. |
